Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering good value for money. However, I was a bit disappointed that WiFi wasn't free, and there were limited plug sockets, especially near the bed. The service was a mix of experiences, with some staff members being professional and friendly while others were intimidating and rude. The location was really convenient for my trip, with amenities and attractions within walking distance. The dining experience was somewhat redeeming, even though it was below average, but the side dishes couldn't be faulted. The facilities were decent, though nothing exceptional stood out.
The hotel offers clean and reasonably priced rooms, though on the smaller side. The service provided by the staff, particularly Claire, Kate, Kathy, Delia, Shabs, Chenise, and Claire, was very helpful and always accompanied by a smile. The location was ideal for easy access to the Apollo at Ardwick Green and Manchester Apollo and Academy concerts, with a comfortable bed awaiting. However, the dining experience had its shortcomings with dried out mushrooms and rubbery scrambled eggs, though the evening meals exceeded expectations. The hotel facilities were satisfactory, but the unlimited breakfast buffet at £8.25pp offered fresh orange juice.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were decent and provided value for money with comfortable beds and cleanliness, although we had to request a hair dryer. The 'no frills' atmosphere was great, and the reasonable pricing was a plus, but having only one pillow per bed was a slight inconvenience.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The room, despite being on the car park side, was nice and cozy, with a clean shower. The staff, especially Kevin, Daniel, and Helga, were lovely and very helpful. The location was convenient for me, with amenities nearby and ample parking. The dining experience was good, although the breakfast options could be more varied. Overall, a decent value for money stay.
The hotel was conveniently located with close amenities, ample parking, and lovely breakfast. The rooms were clean and spacious, ideal for an overnight stay, but the decor was a bit bland for my taste. The service was friendly and helpful, although there was an incident of being forced to move my car early in the morning. The dining experience was enjoyable with good options at a great price. The hotel offers basic facilities but lacks some modern touches.
